Despite these traumatic experiences, Dan denies that they affect him, claiming he is "fine". At the beginning, Dan appears uncomfortable, isn’t truthful about how he’s feeling and how he makes money (selling pot). Once the nurse is able to establish a relationship with Dan, he slowly reveals that he’s been suffering from nightmares about his family, things that his father would do when Dan was a kid. Dan doesn’t have any close friends; he has a lot of acquaintances as the "funny guy". He admits to spending a lot of time alone, that very little makes him happy, and he has few times he can let his guard down and make people laugh. Dan further describes a lack of appetite, that he has lost weight recently, stopped playing sports because of an injury, and is just tired a lot.

Dan describes instances where his thoughts were jumbled together, and experiencing confusion, often coinciding with family and school issues. Dan says this confusion occurs when he’s under the influence of marijuana, but claims that it happens more frequently when he’s not under the influence. Based on his responses to the assessment, Dan does not experience symptoms such as a belief that people can read his mind or know what his thoughts are; he does not hear sounds that aren’t there, and does not believe that he can read other people’s minds. When alone, Dan sometimes feels like someone is out to get him, usually coinciding with "hitting the bong pretty hard" and consuming edible marijuana products. The feelings of paranoia do not persist, however, when Dan is not smoking. Dan’s father also had many of the symptoms which has made Dan fearful of his own risk for schizophrenia. Dan further describes a lack of friends, having feelings that he’s being judged, and that people think he’s "the crazy guy’s son." The two main issues that Dan is experiencing are primarily rooted in family trauma and his marijuana use.

Dan tells the nurse that he sometimes drives under the influence of marijuana, and it’s apparent that he’s under the influence with his blood shot eyes and a slur to his words. Dan describes a pattern of cannabis use, often vaping to "level out", or taking a hit from a bong or edibles, and has been doing so since he was thirteen, almost every day. Dan was recently expelled from school, he says primarily because of his grades, but he was also caught selling pot. Dan has held previous jobs but was fired so he now "delivers" pot for a dispensary in exchange for marijuana. Dan insists that he uses pot primarily for anxiety and that when he’s not using he feels stressed out with school, his mom’s expectation, and generally with everything. When Dan is stressed, he can’t sleep. Dan’s mother has become concerned that Dan has been using more pot ever since the family tragedy where Dan’s father committed suicide. Dan admits that he is depressed and using marijuana helps him cope with his loss and get through the day. In addition, Dan is fearful that he may be having visions like his father had, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
